I cant wait. It's Jamar's biggest battle to date

I think Sandilands will win more taps.

but still i want to see how these ruck-men compare

    If it was like the past meeting in 2008 at the MCG, Jamar neutralised Sandilands by jumping early and into Sandilands which made the big bloke very sore by the end of the game.

    Good point by Rhino - the last 2 years Russian has really bought this to games where he simply 'hurts' the ruckman all day by jumping early and legally into them. The reference to 2008 shows it is something that has been in his game for quite a while, just needed some of the other things to come together.

    He will be well up for this contest which in turn could assist us in having a good day if the midfielders have a good game. If he gets the better of Sandilands how could an All-Australian jumper not be his?

    Sandilands has beaten every other ruck week in and week out this year and last year. It would take an injury for Jamar to get over the top of him. If the AA team were to have a 2nd ruck on the bench, Jamar is well positioned for the nod.

    Agreed. Sandilands is simply to big to get over. Look at his numbers. If Jamar can get pretty close to even it will be a win against the Man Mountain.

    Yep...not said Russian would replace Sandilands - he is one of the first picked. Not often a 2nd ruckman is picked more where I was coming from & if he does negate Sandilands reckon he can't be overlooked. providing his form holds to Rnd 22

    I wonder if the reason Paul Johnson was given a run against Essendon had to do with giving him a taste before he and Jamar take on Sandilands. If the goal is to buffet and bump the beast into submission, the extra mature, heavy body would be handy.

    For the first time this season Jamar could find himself with less of a workload than his oppenent(s).

    That would also be an argument for having Bail in over, say Cheney or MacDonald - the harder runner so we have more left in the tank for the last quarter as, hopefully, Sandilands influence starts to fade.

    Now I'm thinking far too much. ;)

    It's a good idea LG :)

    was jamar rested for the last 15-5mins of the final qtr on the weekend and PJ was continually played in the ruck? did anyone else notice this?

    if so i figure it was to give him some rest for the freo game...

    Yep. But the concern is, with the pressure to include another gun on the bench, will they decide no second ruck this year? It would reflect the way the game is being played in 2010. Less reliance on two rucks.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
